TRAINING- Teaching a person, or an animal, a particular skill or type of behavior through practice and instruction over a period of time.
Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.
Proverbs 22:6 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE)
I urge you, as I did when I was on my way to Macedonia, to remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain people not to teach different teachings and not to occupy themselves with myths and endless genealogies that promote speculations rather than the divine training that is known by faith. But the aim of such instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith.
1 Timothy 1:3-5 (NRSVUE)
Train yourself in godliness, for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
1 Timothy 4:7b-8 (NRSVUE)
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the person of God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NRSVUE)

Do you not know that in a race the runners all compete, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win it. Athletes exercise self-control in all things; they do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable one. So I do not run aimlessly, nor do I box as though beating the air, but I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NRSVUE)
TEAMWORK- Where every member of the team has a job to do and does it to the best of their ability.
And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (NRSVUE)
“PROVOKE” – NIV: “spur on” // Greek word “paroxysmos” // Incite or irritate
